Groups of volunteers set up curbside parks today throughout Downtown and in St. Paul to raise awareness about the need for more green space.

For the PARK(ing) Day event, more than a dozen makeshift parks were set up along the street. The plots of sod were lined with plants, trees and chairs. Local organizations involved in the event include AIA Minnesota, the North Loop Neighborhood Association, the Urban Land Institute, the Trust for Public Land and the Minnesota chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
